The bar is the rank itself: its length is the share of the family this animal exceeds. The chart below is the family’s real spread, on a logarithmic scale because body length here runs from 20 to 203 mm. The solid rule is this animal. Every bar is a count of real species, and nothing on this figure is estimated.

Keeping one
Graham Frog is assessed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List. Species at risk in the wild are often covered by CITES and by national law, which decide what may be bought, sold, moved across a border or kept at all — and captive-bred and wild-caught animals are usually treated differently. Check the rules where you are before acquiring one. Nothing below is a judgement about keeping this species; it is what a published welfare standard says about space, and what the animal itself was measured doing.
- Land
- 107 × 54cm
- Water, at least 21 cm deep
- 54 × 54cm
Minimum, and for two animals — which is how the standard states it. Bigger is always better. Around 54 cm tall on average.
The standard gives 10 × 5 body lengths of land and 5 × 5 of water, for two animals.
For each further animal the standard asks for another 21 × 21 cm of land and 21 × 11 cm of water.
Swiss Tierschutzverordnung (TSchV), SR 455.1, Anhang 2, Tabelle 6 — legally binding minimum enclosure sizes for amphibians, given as multiples of total body length and stated for two animals.
From this animal’s own snout-vent length, which for a frog is its body length of 4.25 in (107 mm) — how this is worked out.
Graham Frog
Feeding
7kJ per day
Worked out for an animal of 53 g, the heaviest recorded for Graham Frog — so it is the top of the range, not a figure for a particular animal. Weigh yours and the number will be lower.
An upper estimate, not a feeding target, and not veterinary advice. The equation covers only what an animal burns staying alive, so a growing, gravid or recovering animal needs more — and it was measured on wild animals, which move far more than one in an enclosure. Body condition and a vet who knows the species are what a feeding decision should rest on. Where this comes from.
What nobody knows
These are not gaps in our research. No scientific dataset records them for this species — and saying so is information you cannot get from a reference that simply leaves a field out.
